== About Sheila ==
I am known on [[Star Trek: Freedom]] forum boards as herbalsheila, but of course my real name is Sheila. I am married to the most wonderful man in the world named Jim. I run and own a brick and mortar natural health store called Herb-n-Oils [[http://www.HerbnOils.com]] here in St. Joseph, Missouri USA where I live with my husband and our three cats. [[Micelle]] is one of three cats, the others being a black female cat with golden eyes named Thomasina, and a larger, younger, long haired teenage kitten with boundless energy named Rascal. None of them go outside and so will live for a very long time.
 
I formulate, market and create handcrafted Hearth Crafts bar soap. I handspin and weave wool, flax, silk, cotton and various other fibers whenever I have the chance, which isn't as often as I'd like.

I am an hysterical/historical reenactor and I have been a member of Society for Creative Anachronism [[http://www.sca.org]] for a little over twenty years. My arms for the Society are pictured below. In the Society, I am known as Her Ladyship Gwennan nic Ailpein na Loch Shiel. I have also been part of the Civil War Missouri Irish Brigade Ladies Auxiliary [[http://www.geocities.com/missouriirishbrigade/index.html]] as a sutler, soapmaker and entertainer for about 3 years now.
 
I enjoy ballads, including madrigals, black gospel, rounds, and sacred choral music. I have sung for many years in church choirs as a soprano and second soprano and lately as a tenor. I love music from the eighties and early nineties and I have a soft spot for a lot of music from the fifties and sixties that came out of Motown. I love all different types of folk and ethnic music, but my favorite genre has to be Celtic, both historical and modern. I want to learn how to play my mint condition mandolin that I purchased for $50.00 at a garage sale, but so far I have no teacher, so I am looking into purchasing a teaching video and some beginning music. I am still arguing in English and not Gaelic with 'Bheag an Bheag', an online tutorial series published on the internet to teach Gaelic.
 
I keep fighting with my weight and do my own modified version of Tae Bo. I have long outgrown Kathy Smith and Richard Simmons' low impact areobic workouts. I stick to low/no impact areobic workouts due to my medical difficulties.
 
After getting involved with Star Trek Freedom, to my astonishment, I have discovered I have a penchant for writing. Who'd a thunk it?! After I picked my jaw up off the floor upon seeing people's reactions to my posts, especially my characters' introductory posts, I am seriously considering writing a Star Trek novel to submit to Simon and Schuster who work with CBS Paramount to print them. My [[jimrpg59|husband]] is particularly proud of me and is thrilled that I write so poignantly. I am still astounded that I wrote this stuff!
 
[[Shayhiloosh]]'s first post ended up being a little story all its own and getting hir onto the ship had to be done in two posts since I was attempting to allow the other players the chance to get to know hir a little better. [[Shayhiloosh]] is more reserved, but [[Maraht the Horta|Maraht]] is more humorous; he waves his main phalange about to indicate laughter and has done so on numerous occassions, to the delight of the crew of the [[USS Hades|Hades]] and its players.
 
If you would like to read some of [[Maraht the Horta|Maraht]]'s or [[Shayhiloosh]]'s posts, feel free to do so on thier character pages. I have put the posts that I thought best describes their individual personalities and how I play them on their pages.
 
== [[Maraht the Horta]] ==
{{Infobox USS Hades Player}} ''"Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place."'' -Mark Twain [[Image:Maraht2.jpg|thumb|right|Ensign Maraht on the [[USS Hades]]]]
 
My primary character or PC, [[Maraht the Horta]], passed his final exam at the [[Starfleet Academy]] on Holodeck 8 with his instructor Lt.[[Standorval Thrall]] with flying pebbles June 2006. [[Maraht the Horta|Ensign Maraht (sg)]] had been assigned to the [[USS Mystique]] which had been mapping space in the unexplored beta sector. But now the crew has moved to [[USS Hades]] and has been exploring Beta Seranis III.  After reboarding thier vessel, they have run into the [[Myrenu]], a fantical war-like race, bent on conquering the galaxy using genocide with the threat of terraforming planets using thier version of the Genesis device.
For more information about Hortas please see [[The Horta Report]]. For more information about Maraht, please see [[Maraht the Horta]].
 
I guess this by default makes me the unofficial Horta Reporta! LOL!
 
== [[Shayhiloosh]] the [[Arborians|Arborian]] ==

''Trees are the kindest things I know''
 
''They do no harm, they simply grow''
 
''And spread a shade for sleepy cows,''
 
''And gather birds among their boughs.''  -Author Unknown
 
I now have a character, or SPC, called [[Ensign]] [[Shayhiloosh]] (jg) on the [[USS Boudicca]] as a Botanist as of October 2006. Hir is one of the species called the [[Arborians]], a species I made up all by myself, with lots of encouragement from my dear spousal unit, [[jimrpg59|Jim]] who plays [[Thom Hania]] on the [[USS Nimitz]] and my friend [[GrannyGM|Connie]] who plays [[Brianna Frazier]] on the [[USS Champlain]]. Please feel free to read the articles and leave your comments under the discussion tabs.
 
Playing hir is lots of fun since hir has three eyes on long vine-like stalks and it's pretty cool to swivel those eyestalks around in a post. S/He has some minor telepathic abilities and has discovered the [[Boudicca]]'s Dreamplane, but his abilities have become augmented with contact with a scruffy little creature, a [[USS Boudicca|Pelluvian Howler]] named [[USS Boudicca|Winston]]. [[USS Boudicca|Winston]] is considered a pet and he belongs to the ACSO [[Ensign]] [[USS Boudicca|Jonathon Linskens]], his mate [[USS Boudicca|Francesca della Rosa]] and thier two year old daughter [[USS Boudicca|Inez]].
 
Right now [[Shayhiloosh]] has just seen hir first battle up close and personal with some of [[Admiral Doenitz]]'s not-so-nice [[Marines]] from the USS Exeter. Hir has gotten badly injured and is in agony from trying to defend Sickbay which still had two unconcious patients in critical condition that could not be evacuated. Feeling outraged that Marines would attack a place of healing and threaten the lives of those unable to defend themselves, [[Shayhiloosh]] shot with the phaser hir had been given and attempted to attack with hir longer roots, but got viciously torn up. We shall see how hir recovers though hir is attempting to spy on the invaders and report thier activities to the command staff of the [[Boudicca]].
 
== [[Valek]] ==
{{Infobox Academy Player}}
I recently began playing an instructor as of January 2007. Rather than confuse or discombobulate newer players, I opted to go with a humanoid character and chose a Vulcan.
 
Lt. [[Valek]] (jg) is a dark skinned Vulcan who is known for being demanding on his cadets, but is willing to go the extra mile when he sees the cadet is doing thier best.
 
== [[Micelle]] ==
{{Infobox USS Hades Player}}
 
[[Micelle]] my new NPC on the [[USS Boudicca]], and now the [[USS Hades]] is based on my real life friend of 16 human years who lives with me and my husband at our home. She is one of three cats.
 
== [[T'Kron]] ==
{{Infobox USS Nimitz Player}}
 
Ensign Vulcan NPC [[T'kron]] is an Engineer on board the [[USS Nimitz]].
 
== [[Durston Croft]] ==
{{Infobox USS Hades Player}}
Engineer [[Durston Croft]] is on the [[USS Hades]] as an NPC. He is full of Scottish brougue with Geordie influences in his delightful and colorful manner of speaking.
 
== In Conclusion ==
